...worked, this fairy tale of American bigheartedness. In September Forrest King, a self-described "dyed-in-the-wool conservative," and his wife Marie Hancock-King opened up their home in Attleboro, Mass., to a lesbian couple with three small children and a grandmother, all of whom had fled Slidell, La., and Hurricane Katrina. The Meehan-Hoos placed their kids in school and heaped gratitude on their hosts. And King said they could stay indefinitely. TIME ran a story about the arrangement (Sept. 26, 2005), calling it a friendship "across the red-blue divide...
...shut out of El Bulli and stuck in Madrid, don't fret. The city boasts plenty of innovative places. One of them is La Broche in the Miguel Angel hotel, whose executive chef, Sergi Arola, apprenticed with Adrià. Dining at La Broche is an immersion in formalism. The color scheme of the dining room is sci-fi white, from the rectangular tables to the window blinds. The wait staff is all business (as is most of the clientele).

...necessity and started concocting her own, using an ingredient native to her country of birth: shea butter.

Since 2004 Wood has imported ingredients in bulk for other European cosmetics manufacturers, too (www.akuawood.co.uk). And shea...
...earlier this year proved more palatable than most: 2005 would be the Year of Beer in Brussels and Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, to celebrate the country's 175th anniversary. So if you want to salute the tipple before year's end, Delirium Caf?, on Impasse de la Fid?lit?, just off the main restaurant drag of Rue Gr?try, is a great place to start. Serving over 900 of the nation's finest brews, revered for their strength and diversity, and with a menu as thick as a phone book boasting these as well as more than...
...Like the view of Shanghai, many of Delano's China photographs, on exhibit in November at La Triennale di Milano Museum in Milan, Italy, use the tools of the darkroom to make a familiar scene eerie or allegorical. Delano shoots in black and white, but he prints in black and gray. His photos look as if they've been rubbed with charcoal and might smudge if touched. The China he depicts is a somber, worn, dusty place, often devoid of the hopeful gleam it wears on billboards, state TV?and in real life. Few of the people pictured smile...
